The Birkenkofel (Italian : Croda dei Baranci; German : Birkenkofel) is a mountain in the Sexten Dolomites in South Tyrol, Italy.
The Dolomites, also known as the Dolomite Mountains, Dolomite Alps or Dolomitic Alps, are a mountain range located in northeastern Italy. They form part of the Southern Limestone Alps and extend from the River Adige in the west to the Piave Valley in the east. The northern and southern borders are defined by the Puster Valley and the Sugana Valley. The Dolomites are located in the regions of Veneto, Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol and Friuli Venezia Giulia, covering an area shared between the provinces of Belluno, Vicenza, Verona, Trentino, South Tyrol, Udine and Pordenone.
Luis Trenker was a South Tyrolean film producer, director, writer, actor, architect, alpinist, and bobsledder.
